Abstract excerpt
We previously mapped the gene responsible for autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA) type III to a 10.9-cM interval between D16S3089 and D16S515 on chromosome 16q. This region, however, was identical to the candidate locus of spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 (SCA4). In this study, we extended our research to refine the gene locus of the disease by applying linkage disequilibrium with 20 microsatellite DNA...
